Farmer Fubo is open for business

"What do you mean by cutting off the relationship? Zhao Yuan is also a descendant of the Zhao family. If he and his third uncle did such a thing, they should be responsible for it! Anyway, I will not pay back the money for him."

Wang was determined not to admit this debt, otherwise there would be endless trouble in the future.

Mrs. Cui was very angry when she saw Mrs. Wang acting like a dead pig and not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, and turned around to find the old lady.

"Mom, you should also take care of your third brother and Zhao Yuan. If you let them continue like this, I won't be able to manage this family."

Mrs. Cui put the account book on the table next to her mother-in-law and said angrily: "How about you decide who can take charge of this house, and then arrange for someone to do it. My daughter-in-law is incompetent and can't really control it."

After saying that, he turned around and left the yard of his mother-in-law, went back and lay down on the bed, pretending to be sick.

In the evening, Zhao Yuan was called by his father, who severely reprimanded him and ordered him to pay back the money.

Zhao Yuan looked at his furious father and said in a bachelor's manner: "Dad, my son has no money. How about I go to the palace and work as a eunuch to pay off the debt? As long as I do well in the palace, you can also get promoted and make a fortune in the future, right?" "

Zhao Ping was so angry that he threw a tea cup at him with his hand: "You evildoer! Get out! Go and kneel in the yard now!"

Zhao Yuan snorted, turned around and ran out of the yard, looking for his third uncle again.

But the third uncle who was punished by his grandfather to kneel down in the ancestral hall has not returned yet, and the third aunt also avoids him like a snake and a scorpion. Zhao Yuan has no choice but to go back to the house and lie down to sleep.

At night, several people were sneaking around the door of his house, holding sticks and ropes in their hands. Two of them were still pulling the door bolt.

Zhao Yuan did not alert them, he gently pushed open the rear window sash and jumped out, then closed the window tightly and inserted a wooden stick into the crack of the window to ensure that no one could push it.

Then when I turned to the door, I saw that several servants had opened the door bolt and entered the house. There was only a boy holding a lantern watching at the door.

Zhao Yuan kicked the boy guarding the door into the house, closed the door behind him, and pinned the nose of the door shut with a wooden stick.

Looking at the burning lantern that fell to the ground, Zhao Yuan narrowed his eyes, picked it up and smashed it against the window.

The window panes were covered with window paper and were easily caught by an open flame.

The servants in the room were so frightened that they screamed: "Fire! Fire! The water has escaped!"

They wanted to escape, but the doors and windows couldn't be pushed open.

Fortunately, the noise soon alerted other people in the house, and they rushed to put out the fire.

Eventually even the old lady was woken up and asked repeatedly what was going on.

"Yes, there was a fire in the room where the fourth young master lived, and many people were locked up inside." The maid hurriedly dressed the old lady.

Mrs. Zhao was shocked: "How could there be a fire in Shiro's house? Who is inside?"

The maid hesitated and did not dare to speak.

In fact, the second lady sent people over to tie up the fourth young master and beat him up, but for some unknown reason, the house caught fire.

When the fire in the house was extinguished and several servants were rescued, they all huddled in the corner in disgrace and dared not speak.

Zhao Yuan walked over, picked up one person's chin and asked, "What are you doing in my house in the middle of the night? Do you want to set me on fire?"

The servant had seen Zhao Yuan's fists before and was trembling with fear: "Young, you don't know anything."

"Don't know?" Zhao Yuan picked up the stick that the servant dropped on the ground and banged it on his palm: "It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't tell the truth."

One person was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground and said, "It was the second lady who ordered us to come here."

Zhao Yuan smiled: "Why are you ordering you to come here? Burn me to death?"

Without waiting for the servant to explain, Zhao Yuan asked loudly: "Just because Third Uncle took me out to play a few times, he can't tolerate me and wants to kill me?"

Several servants dared not say a word.

At this time, everyone in the Zhao family came over, and the second wife, Wang, was also standing not far away, supported by a maid.

Zhao Yuan didn't give them a chance to explain. He pointed at his eldest brother Zhao Xuan and said, "He can get hundreds of dollars to visit a brothel with outsiders. I'm just going out to eat and drink with my third uncle. You guys want to kill him?" Kill me?"

Zhao Ping's eyebrows twitched and he said, "Who wants to kill you? Yuan'er, don't talk nonsense!"

Zhao Yuan burst into tears suddenly, and ran to the house filled with black smoke. He pointed at the charred house and said, "No one wants to kill me, so why are these servants setting fire to the house I live in in the middle of the night? Are they trying to kill me?" Do I light and heat myself? Dad! Mom! Are you really my biological parents?"

"When I was a child, you had a vicious wet nurse to take care of me. I was almost tortured to death. It was Aunt Song who saved me. She also gave me food to eat and taught me how to read and write. But how did you treat her? For the sake of your heart. Greedy, you even went to the Song family to humiliate others, how much do you not wish me well?"

He cried miserably, leaving everyone present silent.

Zhao Ping felt his face turn red with embarrassment and couldn't stay any longer, so he turned around and left.

Wang's face turned livid with anger, she pointed at Zhao Yuan and shouted: "Shut up!"

"Second daughter-in-law! You have to shut up!" Although Mr. Zhao doesn't take care of things very much, he is not an old fool either.

At present, all the servants in the mansion are present, and they are not stupid or deaf. Zhao Yuan's words will definitely be spread outside by these people.

Even if they knew that this was all a misunderstanding, the second lady simply wanted to find someone to catch her youngest son and teach him a lesson, and had no intention of hurting his life.

But servants would not say that. They would only pass on the most vicious and unsightly ideas to outsiders.

Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is not to reprimand Zhao Yuan, but to appease him and prevent him from feeling resentful.

"Yuan'er, come here and tell your grandfather if you have any grievances." Mr. Zhao waved to Zhao Yuan: "Grandpa will definitely make the decision for you."

Zhao Yuan took a few steps back and said loudly: "Since you can't tolerate me, I'll leave!"

After that, he grabbed the collar of the outer courtyard steward with a stick and dragged him towards the gate.

"Stop him quickly!" Mr. Zhao saw his grandson's intention and quickly ordered the servants around him: "Don't let him leave the Zhao Mansion!"

Unexpectedly, all the servants lowered their heads and refused to catch up.

Just like that, Zhao Yuan forced the steward of the outer courtyard to open the door and ran into the night.

A few days later, rumors spread in the capital that the second wife of the Zhao family did not like their second son, and actually wanted to set her son on fire to death because she wanted to get the wages of her twelve-year-old son working as a waiter outside.

Once the rumor spread, even the storyteller caught on to the gossip and spread the word.

By the time Mrs. Wang learned of this, it was already August and the emperor had returned to Beijing from his summer resort.

Several officials submitted memorials to impeach Zhao Ping and his eldest brother, Zhao Rong, who was then Naohiro Uuchunfang, saying that they abused their nephews and violated human ethics. They also said that if they could not settle down their family, how could they stabilize the country?

The emperor frowned after reading it, and handed the memorial to the staff for investigation.

After this investigation, it was found that Zhao Ping's youngest son had indeed been abused by the servants of the Zhao family. Before he was ten years old, he went out to work as a waiter to earn money to support himself, because the family did not even have a place for him to live. He was really mean.

When the emperor saw the information found by the officials, he was immediately furious, and immediately demoted Zhao Ping and Zhao Rong to serve as county magistrates in Sichuan and Northern Xinjiang respectively.

Zhao Rong was demoted from his official position and was demoted to a barbarian land due to the consequences of his younger brother's family. He was so angry that he almost passed away.

Before he had time to settle the score with his younger brother, he was driven by the guards on his horse and rushed to Sichuan.

During this period, I only had time to go home and bring some money and clothes, but I was constantly urged by the guards and rushed out of the capital.

Because demotion is also a punishment for officials, they must travel at least ten steps a day, which is a hundred miles, and there are also guards escorting them all the way.

Compared with the exiled prisoners, demoted officials only have one less shackles and one more horse.

Zhao Ping was not much better, and his wife was demoted to the north with him.

The officer only gave them half a quarter of an hour to pack their things and prepare the carriage, and then urged them to leave the capital and head to northern Xinjiang.
